<p></p><p>A few years ago, a grassroots program started in <a href="http://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/article/405686">Portland </a>to encourage people to adopt solar power.

The solar energy business is <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/11/solar-energy-power-boom-charts">growing fast</a>, thanks in part to a steep drop in panel prices.<p>The Solar Energy Industries Association reports that <a href="http://www.seia.org/research-resources/solar-industry-data" target="_blank">prices dropped</a> by more than half since 2010.
